Lyrics
Place Under The Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I′ve been bouncing around
Trying hot coals, jogging, shiatsu, cooking, golf
Great books
Crochet, croquet, fitness clubs and the
Stylish looks
Tried shiatsu, psychic hotline, rollerblades ®
Stamp collecting, comic books
Never did jack for me
In the swirling howling wind
I′ve been stumbling around with a frown
Like a bumbling clown
Like a punch-drunk fighter coming undone
Shot with a stun gun - blowing round again
i try this, i try that, I′ll be changing
Everyday where I′m at
Till i find my space
Till i find my place under the sun
I′ve been looking round
Pushing my fingers into gloves,
Getting into doves
With guidance from up above
Don′t tell anybody but i might just have
A little bout with love
Test driving a new accent, cars,
Posing as a confident gent
Tried indifference
Never did a thing for me
Iambic pentameter
Nihilism, cynicism, catechism, jingoism, jism
Mesmerism, hypnotism, poetic symbolism
Efrem Zimbalism
